The story of moves and countermoves in Huzurabad
The Hindu
A win for BJP can pave the way for several changes in political dynamics
The schedule for the byelection to Huzurabad Assembly seat is not announced yet, but principal political parties are deeply into moves and countermoves to checkmate their rivals. One-upmanship and consolidation of caste groups is in full display in the constituency going by the developments over the last fortnight. The no-holds-barred campaign by the parties, particularly the TRS and the BJP, reveal that the bypoll has turned into more of a prestigious issue than just a political contest. It all began with filing of cases and ouster of Eatala Rajender as a minister from the Cabinet, his subsequent move to resign from his MLA seat and cross to the BJP before launching a full-fledged campaign through padayatra. Congress leader P. Kaushik Reddy quitting the main opposition party at the same time amid audio leak issue and joining the TRS added an interesting turn to the political ‘drama’ which followed the interesting contests in Dubbak and GHMC.
